1) Mastery of the Sippy Cup (and the end of my search for the perfect leak-proof SC, as well).
2) Ability to walk steadily on his own as long as he wants. We are getting him used to walking in his Robeez, which is taking some practice. He just prefers to walk barefoot.3) Distinct speech in the form of of "mama" and "dada" said to the appropriate people (not all the time, but sometimes) and mastery of some sign language, including the sign for "more".
4) Addition of some dance steps to his walking routine (mostly in the form of bending at the knees and bouncing up and down).
5) Replacement of his Snugride carseat with a super-plush Britax Decathlon that he loves, not only because it's soft and comfy but because he's now facing forward! So much to see!
6) A new skill acquired just two days ago - if you raise your arms up, he'll raise his too. It's pretty cute. I have fun making him do it over and over and over.
Today we celebrated the end of this month by having lunch at Estancia in La Jolla. Nick loved the goat cheese appetizer we ordered and shared my brie-coated hamburger with me. Gone are the days of babyfood, I tell you. If I even show him a jar of baby food he starts crying. He's a big boy now. He washed his burger and goat cheese down with apple juice and was as happy as one little man can be.
We let him roam the grounds, under close supervision of course, and stretch his walking legs. It was such a beautiful day, and a wonderful way to welcome this next new month of his life.

What a big boy!
It goes so fast from one phase to the next, sometimes it's scary! You can just enjoy them as they come!
You should let him walk barefoot as much as possible, it's the way we were supposed to walk and it's the bes thing for the development of balance and anatomy. Kisses, katerina.
I can't wait to see him really walking tomorrow! And using a sippy cup! And putting his hands up! And talking (sort of)!
